On topic: pic of the day was lame, as if I didn't see that in the background!? >:/ That stage is still awesome though.

That pic of the day was maybe a hint that you can get on them. Maybe they fly by the "main" planet some times. Because it seems accessible on this picture. You couldn't see this from far away. ^^ (The characters, the star things, sorry forgot their name, don't hinder because Toon Link is on that one 3DS stage as well. If they do it there they can do it on the Wii U version as well.)

i am so excited for this game
i also think it's great that there'll be a Wii U and a 3DS version, but im a little concered... i hope they won't dumb it down so it'll work on the 3DS as well

they should just (if necessary) release 2 "different" games.... if the 3DS can't handle certain characters/moves, then just make them exclusive to the Wii U, but that's not what they're doing
the 3DS has certain limitations... and the Wii U version will suffer because of that

i'm sure both versions will be fun, but for a fighting game the console version will always be the definitive one

it looks pretty slow as well, gameplay isn't nearly fast enough... im afraid they'll turn smash bros. into a completely casual game..
which would result in smash bros. not being fit for the eSports competitive market... i'd hate to see that happen.. i don't want this game to be dumbed down and 100% casual

i want this game to be great.. i want it to be an amazing fighting game which will replace Meele, etc.

The game isn't done jet. And the gameplay you saw is from the game in an early stage.

@Romeo: This game is still a ways off and is guaranteed to look and play differently by the final product. Also, Sakurai has said that these new games will combine both of Melee's and Brawl's fighting styles, so it won't be completely "casual" in that sense.

I would hate the idea of having a different roster of characters in each of the two games because I want to play my mains in both HD and 3D.

@GamecubeMan: There was already a Yoshi's Island stage in Brawl, and before that there were two Yoshi's Story stages, so Yoshi's Story has actually been the tradition. However, I think it's very possible we'll get a Yarn Yoshi stage on the Wii U version and a Yoshi's New Island stage on the 3DS one to celebrate the two big Yoshi games next year.

Avian fact of the week: The Moa, an extinct relative of ostrichs and emus that inhabited New Zealand, was the tallest bird that ever lived at 12 ft tall (3.6 m). It was also the only known bird to have no wing structure.

Sigh, at the cost of sounding incredibly immature, it looks the WFT is about to have their way with him.

do you seriously have to think it that far?

The only reason I thought that was because, as @DestinyMan pointed out, Marth isn't sleeping in the pic but rather lying on the ground after being hit (presumably by WFT). So it looks like he was knocked out for certain reasons. But yes my mind is dirty...

That's not as bad as me. Whenever I see someone abbreviate Wii Fit Trainer's name to "WFT", my brain reads it as "WTF". Then I realize in about 1 second it's actually "WFT", laugh at myself, and then feel like an idiot.
